Wood Fence Upgrade Options

Want to customize your fence and make it unique? Make your fence the talk of the neighborhood with the following upgrade options! Choose just one option, or combine several for a long-lasting customized fence.

Top CapOur Board on Board Wood Privacy fences come standard with the cedar side trim. The 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 cedar top cap is an available upgrade option, which provides the fence with a decorative finish. The top cap also adds even more sturdiness and stability, providing additional longevity to your fence, although many customers choose this option for the design and curb appeal that the top cap adds to the fence. Additionally, adding a cap to the top of the fence prevents water from getting down inside the overlapping pickets.

Boxed Posts

Although metal posts are recommended (and widely popular) for the construction of both residential and commercial fences in Denton, due to the weather and the soil here, it is a concept that is unique to our area. Many homeowners who move to Denton from other states are not familiar with metal posts, and prefer the look of the traditional wood posts. We offer boxed posts as an option for homeowners who prefer the traditional wood post look. Boxed Posts are metal posts that are “boxed in” on three sides, hiding the metal posts from view while still providing the necessary support for a long lasting fence. Boxed posts are available as an upgrade, and can be plain as seen below on the right, or built with “fluted” wood, as shown on the left, for an even more decorative look.Stacked Trim
Our privacy wood fences are built standard with the side trim. Additional, decorative trim can be added for a tiered finish. This is a very popular option among our customers, especially in conjunction with the top cap as shown below.Arched Trim & Corbels
